Surgical Procedures
Our clinic provides comprehensive surgical services with advanced safety protocols. We perform pre-anesthetic blood testing, use individualized anesthetic plans, and maintain strict sterile techniques. Patients receive continuous monitoring of vital signs during procedures with intravenous fluid support to maintain organ function. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
Dental Care
We offer complete oral health assessments and treatments for pets. Services include professional teeth cleaning, gingivitis treatment, and dental radiography. Our preventive approach helps maintain fresh breath, prevent tooth decay, and identify oral diseases early. Regular dental exams are recommended to maintain overall pet health and prevent systemic infections.
Health Exams
Comprehensive physical examinations help establish health baselines and detect early disease indicators. Our veterinarians assess weight, coat condition, organ systems, and behavior patterns. We recommend annual exams for adult pets and bi-annual visits for seniors to monitor age-related changes and maintain optimal health.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs to protect against common animal diseases. Our veterinarians recommend customized vaccine schedules based on regional risks, pet age, and health status. Proper immunization helps prevent serious illnesses and maintains herd immunity within the pet community.
Radiology
Our diagnostic imaging services utilize digital radiography for quick, accurate results. Trained technicians perform X-rays with proper patient positioning and sedation when needed. Images are interpreted by our veterinarians and can be sent to specialists for second opinions. Radiology helps diagnose fractures, organ abnormalities, and internal diseases.

The team at Animal Clinic is really fantastic. I took my cat Rigby for his first vet examination in December and even with all the restrictions in place due to COVID19, animal clinic made the whole process very straightforward and ensured as little stress as possible. Dr. Joe and all the staff are very friendly, and they were very gentle with my… cat when I took him in. They work to build trust with your animal which is so important, and they work to build trust with you, the owner, through straight forward and honest communication. Would recommend! 😊
